description This text examines the problem of the legitimacy of the Spanish Monarchy in a rural parish in central New Spain, at the end of 18th century. Local judges (subdelegados) who violated the local justice culture lost their legitimacy.

Forgiveness between the parties set an end to the crisis. It was in that coming and going from custom to law and doctrine and back to local values that the engagement between Crown and subjects laid.
